Tulip to Crescent Nebula
This image contains various nebulae of the Cygnus region.
There are two versions of the image one in SHO(hubble palate ) and second in HOO
The Tulip Nebula is a glowing cloud of interstellar gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus. This emission nebula is cataloged as Sharpless 101, or Sharpless Sh2-101.
The Tulip Nebula is about 8,000 light-years from Earth, and 70 light-years across in size.
WR 134 is a variable Wolf-Rayet star located around 6,000 light years away from Earth in the constellation of Cygnus, surrounded by a faint bubble nebula blown by the intense radiation and fast wind from the star.
The Crescent Nebula, or NGC 6888 as it is formally known, is a distinctive emission nebula that stretches about 25 lightyears across and is located about 5,000 lightyears away from Earth in the Cygnus constellation.
Soap Bubble Nebula, Cataloged as PN G75.5+1.7 located in Cygnus. A very faint planetary nebula near the Crescent Nebula.
